Introduction.
This guide has been designed to give readers the answers to the most frequently asked questions about the dairy industry in the UK and elsewhere in the world.
It provides data stretching from the farm gate to consumers and this ‘snapshot’ of the dairy industry is increasingly used by the media and farmer groups to improve bargaining power and start informed debate.
In addition to the information provided in this guide, please find details of web addresses which explain the areas discussed in more detail towards the back.
We would like to express our thanks to the many individuals and organisations that have provided us with some of the statistics found in this publication. This support is gratefully received.

Farm inputs.
UK feed prices.
Most feed prices increased between 2009 and 2010. Some poor harvests worldwide and a drought in Russia caused prices to rise from June onwards.
However, protein prices did not show the same annual average price rises. For example, the average price of Argentine Soyameal fell by £11/tonne (3.8%) between 2009 and 2010.

Note: Figures listed are for farm business income which has replaced net farm income as the primary indicator used by Defra. Farm business income equals: Total output from agriculture (includes crop and livestock valuation change) + Total output from agri-environment schemes +Total output from diversification (Tourism) +Single payment scheme + Profit/(loss) on sale of fixed assets - Expenditure (costs, overheads, fuel, repairs, rent, depreciation, paid labour). Farm business income EXCLUDES imputed values for unpaid labour and rent for owner occupiers.

Milk supply.
GB and UK wholesale milk deliveries.
In 2010/11, UK milk production was 3.9% (506 million litres) higher than the previous milk year.
Over the same period, milk supply in Northern Ireland increased by 9.0% year on year and milk production in GB increased by 3.2%.
Milk production in GB benefited from better than average quality of silage and a weather favourable for grass growth in the summer 2010.

IMPE/AMPE/MCVE.
Market indicators such as AMPE (Actual Milk Price Equivalent) and MCVE (Milk for Cheese Value Equivalent) provide a benchmark for the value returned from milk (at the factory gate) when used for a range of dairy products - butter and powders for AMPE and mild Cheddar and other by-products for MCVE.
IMPE (Intervention Milk Price Equivalent) gives the value (at the factory gate) of a litre of milk that has been manufactured into butter and SMP and sold into intervention. From this an assumed cost of manufacture has been deducted to give an equivalent raw milk price.

In 2009/10, liquid milk made up 60% of the EU-27 dairy product production. Cheese and fermented products made up 16% and 15% each respectively.
Dairy product production is not to be confused with milk utilisation. Dairy product production refers to how many tonnes of each end product have been produced, while milk utilisation shows how much milk has been used for the manufacture and production of each product.

EU market management measures.
Intervention
The intervention scheme provides a floor for the price of butter and SMP by purchasing these products when supply greatly outstrips demand which would otherwise lead to downward pressure on prices.
The intervention scheme has remained opened since 1 March 2009. At the end of the 2010/11 milk year, there were 157,000 tonnes of SMP and 1,400 tonnes of butter in stores, 39% and 98% less than at the end of the 2009/10 year respectively. This is because the European Commission released some of these products back to the market through the Most Deprived Scheme and by a tender process.

PSA
Butter can also be taken off the market under PSA (Private Storage Aid) where butter is put into storage during the peak production period and released during the winter when supply is lower. The flat rate aid is of €15.62/tonne plus €0.44/tonne/day to cover financing and cold storage costs. PSA has remained opened since 1 January 2009.
Export refunds
Export subsidies were re-introduced in January 2009 when dairy commodity prices were low. When the market recovered in the second half of 2009, they were reduced to zero.

About DairyCo.
DairyCo is a division of the statutory levy board, the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB).
DairyCo’s current focus is on improving the profitability of dairy farming by focusing on four specific areas:
• Provision of high quality market information to help farmers and their representatives make the most of dairy markets and opportunities.
• Helping dairy farmers increase their profits while meeting regulatory and environmental requirements – through the provision of world-class research programmes and practical on-farm tools and services.
• Helping promote the positive perception of dairy farming with the general public.
• The development of DairyCo activities towards a self-sustaining model.
DairyCo is funded entirely by milk producers, via a statutory levy on all milk sold off-farm, at the rate of 0.06p per litre. This provides an annual income of around £6.9m.
